TO FIGHT?
LONDON, Mar. 13 (Reuter)- The Finnish Radio, broadcast- ing In Russian yesterday, de- clared that the Finnish Army will defend the independence of Finland to the end, stand- ing firmly as a rock.
Every soldier was prepared to defend his country, to the last drop of blood.
CABLE NEWS
IN BRIEF
It is understood that the 50,000 men mentioned by M. Daladier, in his statement to the Chamber yes. terday, referred only to the French Contingent of the Allied Expedi- tionary Force for Finland.
M. Dajadier explained that this appeal was necessary, bew cause Norway and Sweden were opposed to the passage of Al- lied troops and "because of this attitude, it is impossible to go to Finland's aid unless we received a direct appeal from Finland."
M Daladier said that the decl- sion to send men to Finland, if wanted, was taken by the Allied War Council on Feb. 3.
